    So I have looked online and also tried many different ways to get around my problem but none seem to work.
    Im trying to get a material from an id. Many posts online state Material.getMaterial should take an int value, but I guess thats on an outdated version since Material.getMaterial takes a string value now which is very unhelpful.

    Example:

    I understand that its gross, but I dont see any other way. What I have now... Example : https://gyazo.com/bf0b2d03938519c8702677670a2b1c67

    Which basically takes the string value of line 1 on a sign, and checks if its a valid material, this only works with some materials. OAK_PLANKS for example comes through as null, so I thought using ID's would be more precise.

    @johnnyD What version are you building on?
    And if above 1.13: did you specify the API version?
    Have you tried printing the Material#name()

    Because those ID's are not even in the game anymore with the latest versions (as far as I know at least)

    So weird how all of a sudden it recognizes OAK_PLANKS even without any changes... Maybe a restarted server had something to do with it?

    @johnnyD Server doesn't magically updates a plugin, restart is required to load the new code again.

    @timtower I am aware... A reload does the job usually though

    There are some weird things with unloading there

    Server can't or won't fully unload everything, so it could have been using the old jar.
